So as stated last week I made the release today. It is available from the ftp: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.11.tar.gz along with Fedora 16 rpms I signed. And the release is tagged in the tree so normal development can resume :-) The release is rather big, which is not surprizing since in includes 6 weeks of developments instead of the 4 as usual. BTW considering the rate of the push I still think we should keep a monthly release schedule, this is way higher than most other projects but as long as the people doing the packaging and pushes downstream think it's okay I guess everyone benefits from a shorter cycle (well as long as we don't break API/features !) It is sometime difficult to separate from what to label as an improvement and what to label really as a new feature, in any case there was plenty of both in this release, along with a copious dose of bug fixes: Features: - Add support for the suspend event (Osier Yang) - Add support for event tray moved of removable disks (Osier Yang) - qemu: Support numad (Osier Yang) - cpustats: API, improvements and qemu support (KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki and Eric Blake) - qemu: support type='hostdev' network devices at domain start (Laine Stump) - Introduce virDomainPMWakeup API (Michal Privoznik) - network: support Open vSwitch (Ansis Atteka) - a number of snapshot improvements (Eric Blake) Portability: - build: fix build on cygwin (Eric Blake) - build: fix mingw ssize_t, syntax check (Eric Blake) - Disable build of commandhelper & ssh on Win32 (Daniel P.
